Hello! My name is We

So we are here. We are here. But who is We? Well, obviously, this "We" refers to Us, a specific group of people. But who is "Us"? Well, one thing we know, is that whoever "Us" is, it isn't you, or them, or those people, or ya'll. No, it's definitely only Us.
So, now that we have decided officially that We is not you, we can proceed to the details of who We--and not you--are, exactly.
So who is this We that we--and not you--have been talking about?
Well, one thing we know is that We is a weird person. He's so weird that he's written everything above as a filter. We has put all that there to eliminate all those of faint heart. Those who weren't strong enough to battle through his weirdness will have left is disgust by now. Obviously you, or those people, or ya'll, are still here, however. We is now addressing you. Not the faint-hearted ones.
The first thing you need to know about We, is that We is actually more than one person, which makes sense since "we" is a plural pronoun that indicates we-ness. More than one person. So how many persons does this particular We indicate?
Well, this We indicates 10 people, actually. These ten people comprise the Biblical unit of we-ness, known as the family. This family is a close-knit unit of people dedicated to being We--and not you, him, her and that other person.
So, about this family. Who are they? Well, We are a unit of ten, as we said. First of all, We has a father. He's a very godly father who strives to lead his family in the Lord. He's really a neat guy. He enjoys reading and working around the house, and is also an expert in energy management (which is obvious, because he manages to feed We, and with with the size of We, that can be a challenge.)
Then we have a mother. The mother of this unit is an excellent, wonderful mother who leads her children everyday around the house. She's an excellent teacher and mommy, and also, if we dare say, a pretty amazing cook. Again, a major contributor to the energy excellence of the We unit in question
Then there is our dear Adam. He's brother number 1, and he's 25. Adam is older than the rest of us, and now lives on his own. He served our Nation (American, in case you were wondering) for five years as a Marine. Now he travels and is thinking about going to school. We thinks he would make a good engineer--he has a talent for the details in any project.
Then there is Me. Who is Me? Well,  Me would be the person writing this article about We--and not you. Me is brother number 2, and most people, including himself sometimes, call him Eli. He's 16, a writer and a blacksmith and and also a not-so-faithful blog poster (just ask his friends--who would be the you we have been referring to, as no one else would be enduring We's weirdness for this long).
Next, we have Isaac, who is brother number 3 and is 15. Isaac is a guitarist, and if Eli dares to say so, one of the best he knows. Isaac also love animals and guns. He's really pretty good at just about everything mechanical. He's an excellent driver, tractor operator and an avid reader. He devours good novels, when he can get them. He's also a WWII buff, and reads all about that.
After Isaac, we have brother number 4, who is called Noah, most of the time. He's 11. Noah is the only blonde of the family, and also the family comedian. He's into just about everything, now and then, and also loves a good novel. He also likes a good movie (as most of We does), and loves to do anything with his older brothers. Noah is also responsible for We's donkey and calf, and does odd jobs around the house.
Then there is Micah, brother number 5. Micah is the family little guy, and he's 10. He's much smaller than everyone else, actually, and is athletics and smart. He's good at math, and loves to dress up and play. He's great with his little brothers and loves to talk.
Following him, is the great Samodeni, who is more often called Samuel. Our dear Samuel is the family helper. He's seven, and loves to work with everyone. He's doing school now and always has a warm smile and laugh for everyone. He's growing to be a big, tall boy, and has an aggressive appetite after a hard day playing outside.
And now at last, we come to brother number 6. He goes by many names, but mostly, we call him Benjamin, and he's 5. We wouldn't be We without Benjamin. Benjamin is the mastermind of devious plan around the house. He's one of the more brilliant members of We, and has many curious skills. He's friendly and kind, and has a wonderful smile.
The last member of We is Hannah, our dear baby sister. She's just about to turn 3, and is the light of our lives day by day. She's sweet and loves to help her mommy in the kitchen, or go play guns with her brothers--either way. She also loves to talk and spend time with all her family. She's a really great addition to We.

So now you know who We is. We is the Kings, and we're happily living and learning. We live in Alabama on a small farm out in the country, and we have chickens, a donkey, a cow, cats and a couple dogs. Some people might think we also raise mice in our house, but we will neither confirm nor deny such accusations at this time.
We're excited about the new blog, and Me will try to post on it a little more often than the last one. He promises. He knows. He's sure of it. Really. Once a weak. Honest.

(It's We's opinion that Me is really trying to convince himself more than you.)

Until next time, Me for We.
